Not like this, please: you now leave us with a dangling #define whose
name makes you think it should be related to flushing and a couple of
curious magic constants. It's almost hand crafted to confuse people
reading the code.
Please do it like this instead: with a comment explaining what we're
doing above the #define and a name that clearly relates to the actions.
